Slavinken

Slavinken is a word which roughly translated could be 'butcher's finches'. No one is quite certain why they have this name, but one theory is that they reminded a butcher of the little song finches which used to be common in the markets around Holland. This is a traditional Dutch recipe. (you can use beef, pork, lamb, or a mixture). It can be served with boiled or mashed potatoes, rice or noodles, along with salad or steamed vegetables.

What you do: in a large mixing bowl, mix everything except the bacon, until well blended. Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions and roll into small logs, about the size of your thumb. Wrap each log into a slice of bacon. Add to a frying pan, and cook over medium heat, turning often, until browned on all sides. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, or until meat is cooked through.

About Me

Since most of my friends know that I LOVE to cook, I decided to share some original recipes on a blog. I will try to post one new recipe a week, maybe more if I get very ambitious. Some will be geared for my friends who are on gluten free diets. Keep checking for a new dish that you might like to try out.
